Taxation is a financial system imposed by a government which requires individuals, businesses or other entities to pay a portion of their income or property value to support the government's services and functions. This levy can take numerous forms such as income tax, property tax, sales tax, among others. The funds collected through taxation are typically used to finance public goods and services, such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, and defense. Non-payment or evasion of taxes is usually considered a punishable offense.
